This seems to belong here:



You may have seen this recently since it is, apparently, all the rage on twitter (I don't twit). White paint creates a shiny illusion.
It is said that some folks never see the shine or that once you realize it is white paint you can never see the shine again.

I see both...

What's the white stuff, or shan't we go there.....

Back on thread. Had a go at NMM and the results were pretty underwhelming, mainly down to the fact I'm lacking the right type of grey at the moment. I will have another go but initial thoughts are it won't look better than using metallics for mucho more effort.
However I do think it'll work well in a fantasy setting as mentioned by Ithoriel. I'm going to try on some chaos warrior bloodbowl players with a fetching blue metallic armour.

 

Been a while (hey hum) but finally had a proper go at nmm. I like it...

Not too bad, not too bad at all! 

That has come out well!

Impressive effect but I hate to think how much effort is involved 

Looks great.

Looks fantastic, but probably way too much effort for me.

Very cool

Well done!!

Wonderful painting! As others have said, way too much effort for me these days, talk less of the skills required.

I'll be honest it is time consuming and I had quite a few  moments because you have to think about painting in a different way and I'm so totally ocd. But on comparison it is definitely better than using metallics.
I wouldn't use on 10mm but the few 28mms fig I paint will, in the most part, be done using this technique. I have the start of a Perry plastic WotR army which will look great in this technique (in about 20 years time...... )

I AM impressed Matt !! 

That is rather spiffy !!
